Chair Work, Engineering & Organizational Psychology

On this site you can find information about teaching and research activities.

Our secretary’s office is headed by Robert Schümann. Please inquire using the contact form.

The office hours of the secretariat are Mon, Tue and Thu 10 a.m. - 12 p.m.

Our chair colloquium gives students and doctorands the opportunity to learn more about ongoing research projects in our chair and to bring their own research approaches up for discussion. It is a public event which anyone interested is invited to attend. Unless otherwise stated in the schedule, the colloquium will take place in room F 418 from 17:15 to 18:45.

Please find the entire schedule for the current semester here.
